Coolant leaked out of Radiator due to collision with road debris and engine overheated. In spite of the fact that I closely monitored the engine temperature instrument which showed no signs of elevated engine temperature what ever, the engine overheated.
I explained the events to Johnson Honda in Stuart, FL and was informed by the Service Manager that CRV vehicles can & will overheat without indication to the driver. My response was: EXACTLY WHAT IS THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE INSTRUMENT FOR??? Service Manager stated that is just the way it is. Service Manager went on to say: The same overheat anomaly applies to the Honda Fit also. Everybody get that?? This so called "Factory Trained" Service Manager is telling me that both CRVs and FITs are known to overheat without indication to the driver. I was stunned!!!
This should have been a "Warranty" repair due to failure of an indication of engine overheat so I could have stopped the automobile.. Had to pay for the repair. Honda refused to honor the Warranty. That was my last Honda!
I had purchased the vehicle new from Johnson Honda. BUT will never return to that facility for any reason.
Second reason for dumping the CRV with 5000 miles and purchase of Rav 4.

The 2014 Honda CRV is our fourth Honda vehicle. And our L A S T !! The Honda Warranty is a joke inflicted on unsuspecting American purchasers. The engine in our CRV (3,300 miles) overheated with absolutely no indication whatsoever on the instrument panel. The Service Manager at Johnson Honda in Stuart Florida admitted the Engine Overheat Indication would not function if the vehicle was in motion (due to airflow) so the driver would not be aware of the overheat problem. Our engine overheated and Johnson Honda wanted (and charged) approximately $2400 U.S. dollars to repair the damage in spite of the existing warranty on the 2014 Honda CRV with only 3300 miles. This is B U L L S H I T !!
Similar but not exactly same problem with our brand new 2010 Honda CRV. The first time we encountered rain we realized the windshield wipers were defective. Remember this is a NEW automobile. So we took the vehicle to the local dealer (Johnson Honda in Stuart Florida) and was informed Honda would N O T replace the wipers under warranty....even on a new vehicle. Soooo you can bet your life, We are through with Johnson Honda in Stuart Florida.
And in addition to the above, we experienced a similar problem with our 2012 Honda Fit which experienced a battery problem while on a trip in Canada and one would be hard pressed to comprehend the crap Honda put us through on that problem. They never did refund our expenditures to replace that battery instead issuing a "credit" for future Honda service. Yoo hoo, just what we needed a credit for future Honda service.
We're heading over to Toyota !!!

Bought Honda CRV with about 38000 miles with an intact warranty to 60000 miles. Had the car 2 days cracked windshield was cold outside and once I turned on the heat, it cracked. Dealer would not replace the windshield out of pocket expense.
2 months ago rear brakes disintegrated ~57000 miles. Then about 2 weeks ago a slight squealing noise came from the engine compartment it lasted for a day or 2 (Mind you the car at that point had less than 60000 miles) noise stopped than came back I thought I should have it checked out so I made an appointment to have it looked at dealer where I purchased the car. Be for I could make my appointment, he water pump broke. Dealer wants to me pay $600.00+ for the repair because the the odometer is at 60130.
Honda refuses to honor the warranty even thought the pump was going bad prior to 60000 miles. Then when questioned about the warranty they started coming up with all kinds of dodges like "does Honda service your car? was it a certified car?". I had no idea that this affected the warranty, I still don't.
The moral is: if a company is not going to fix something that should have gone for at least 150000 miles, then something is wrong with the company.
